The aftermath saw the party triumphant, though nursing, numb limbs and throbbing heads.Īfter a failed ransacking of the room for loot, two of the robbers lost iron weapons to a clever cloud of chaos magic, that consumed a hammer and spear in corrosive rust. Fangs sunk into flesh, and iron into worm. Centipedes a yard long, slithered across wall and ceiling falling upon the flailing terrified party. Quickly the sensitive beasts perceived their onlookers and sought them for their warm flesh. Jergo stepping forward unlatched the catch and inched the door open peering in, his vision apt to the darkness revealed a room of tossed sacks and broken containers of mold ridden grains and other foodstocks, upon which writhed a half dozen huge wriggling centipedes, their many legs twitching and stepping in a fluid pattern of horrific beauty. Loden in his inspection discovered the words “beware the drums” cut into the frame, finding no fault with the door, he yielded to a position granting anyone who would, to open the door and proceed. Yet their deeds seemed to have damned them, and so their sole logic in navigation became to take every passage to the right, as Gaston would repeat stamping forward in a blind stare ‘ right is always right’Īt one point the group then, happened upon a gothic door, of oak and black iron hinge. Weary, starving, and with little torch left, the party wondered the benighted halls of the dungeons, as if in panic their pace never slower than a rushed walk, the group bypassed many doors, seeking as it seemed some way out in desperation, silently pleading with the gods they had forsaken since childhood beseeching for redemption. Such records shall not be recorded here, as the deeds and failures of men make for poor legend and besmirch the reputation of would-be kings.
What can be said of the others are secrets held by the dungeon and conspired between the survivors of it’s endless corridors, and unremitting horrors. By mid-day the group had shrunk to a mere membership of three, bloodstained, tattered, and injured fellows.
